Whiz-adult never fit me like the whiz-kid did
I came back empty-handed
Like I'm falling and I'm fading and I'm in a skid
Here's looking at you kid, gods forbid
I tried to believe,but I forgot
my apathy was self-taught
So underwhelmed, so unprepared
Do you still care?
Are you still...

When the sun goes down, it waits for me
It'll come around, eventually
Half-hearted sighs, and bitter weather
Believe me when I say: it gets better

I was never meant for a rat race
Tried to reach for the stars now I'm Lost in Space
Maybe I could start again in a new place
On a wild goose chase, what’d be the worst case?

I should be relieved, but I'm afraid
Some debts will not be repaid
When you're overworked and underpaid
Tell me this will change
Tell me this will...

When the sun goes down, it waits for me
It'll come back 'round, eventually
Through doubt and lies in equal measure
Believe me when I say it gets better

It gets better
It gets better

When the sun goes down, it waits for me
It'll come back 'round, eventually
Like butterflies better late than never
Believe me when I say it gets better

When the sun goes down, it waits for me
It'll come back 'round, eventually
Still standing strong, you’re boxing clever
Believe me when I say it gets better
